DVI/DOS problem

Posted on 2018-06-06, 15:35

Currently have a AGP GF3/V2 SLI combo setup where the GF3's DVI and V2's VGA hook up directly to the monitor's matching ports - no loop cable. Problem is when running a dos game in a window the screen goes black/GF3 shuts off the feed. I can get it to work with the GF3's VGA fine but how do I fix …

It might pay to look at the old 3D Realms Tech Support page: https://web.archive.org/web/20100117233502/http://www.3drealms.com:80/tech/duke3d.html Apparently, there were a number of localized versions of the Plutonium PAK. Yeah that's where I got the patch from, but doesn't work at least for me. …

Duke Nukem 3D patch problems

Got the standard version 1.3d CD which installs and runs fine but it's the Plutonium CD that giving me fits with memory "complaints". Tried the ppack15.exe patch but it also gives me an error saying "this program has performed an illegal operation" and so forth. This is in Win98SE by the way. Tried …

Another update: Ditched the DVI connection to the GF3 and used VGA and Duke works in dos window no problem. Still not a solution for me since I need the VGA connections for my Voodoo2's, so if anyone has got this to work with a DVI connection please let me know what you're setup is, thanks. Note! I …

derSammler, Thanks for responding. I checked the refresh rate and it was set for optimal so i set it for 60hz which is standard for flat screens? Anyways it made no difference so I checked into the monitor drivers and windows sees it as being a "generic" plug-n-play digital (not analog) monitor. Is …

Ok an update of sorts: Got the ms-dos shell window to come back up by switching to Nvidia drivers 29.42 (from 23.11) & was able install Duke. However the game still won't run correctly as the screen goes black/monitor power light turns yellow but I still hear the audio from the game - weird. Tried …

Thanks to you both for responding, this issue is driving me nuts! akula65: Not familiar with Display Doctor, will look into it. derSammler: My monitor is just a regular 24" flatscreen that I use in 4:3 mode when retro gaming, will check the drivers but I think it's whatever windows spit out during …

Trying to get this game to work with my upper w98 system (see sig) but after clicking on the install file from the CD my video card shuts off so the screen goes black BUT the system is still running otherwise, as I hear the windows "bell" hitting certain keys. Same thing happens after trying to get …

Never heard of some of these, we'll be checking them out tho. Came across Superbike World Championship (1999). Works "out of the box" but limited to 800 x 600 for some reason. No updates seem to be available.

Re: Moto Racer 2 crashing

An update on this: Replaced the Vortex2 drivers with version 4.06.2041 but still no go. So using the -h switch on the command line which brings up the different options I noticed there was an -NoCpuDetect switch so tried that and it runs! But only in D3D with the GF3, still crashes in glide. Will …

Can anyone vouch for some bike racing games either for W98 or XP that will work on my systems? See sig. So far all I've found is EA's Superbike, thought there would be more. Tried Moto Racer 2 but that game is "rabbit's hole" to get working!
